TEMECULA, Calif., Sept. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group, part of Nikkiso Co.

This strength is evidenced by the first large order for 10 container ships, and we expect more awards in the future.

With GTTs expertise in reducing boil-off rates through our membrane technology, the Recycool system now provides LNG-fueled vessels with effective solutions for managing boil-off and lowering their carbon footprint. The adoption of Recycool by leading Chinese and Korean shipyards reflects the industry’s trust in this solution.
